Convicted serial killer found volunteering at elementary school

Homolka, who along with Bernardo were known as the "Ken and Barbie" killers due to their clean-cut looks, struck a controversial plea deal in which her sentence was reduced to just 12 years.

The 47-year-old was convicted in 1993 alongside her then-husband Paul Bernando of the torture, rape and killing of schoolgirls Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy - as well as her own 15-year-old sister Taffy.

On one occasion, Homolka was asked to come into the classroom at Greaves Adventist Academy "to show the students something related to knitting", CTV News reported on Wednesday. Homolka told investigators that she was an unwilling accomplice to the crimes, and that she had been threatened by her accomplice Paul Bernardo, who had forced her to help him rape and murder his victims. "She is not a regular volunteer, and can never be alone with any children, either in school or churches", Seventh-day Adventist Church spokesman Stan Jensen told CityNews. But letting notorious child-murderer Karla Homolka volunteer at a school seems a bit unwise.
